Bands you should love....Aidan Knight

Not because he's local....because he is freaking talented.

This local prodigy is steamrolling out his soulful sounds of indie folk and if you have ears just let it roll right on through you.

LGFW wraps in the big smoke

After a full week of fashion the lights on the runway have dimmed until next year. This years LG Fashion Week was full of magic and Matty certainly had his hands full of hair (and the occasional cocktail).

Lab Loves Greta Constantine

This dynamic duo of the Canadian fashion scene dropped jaws on sunday night with an unbelievably fresh show starring Coco Rocha (who’s also appeared in the Joe show and on runways for Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and Marc Jacobs. Rocha is apparently a long-time friend of GC designers Kirk Pickersgill and Stephen Wong.They are superstars in the making so watch out for them.

FYI Hair for their show was done by Schwarzkopf Proffesional artist (and friend of Lab) Adrian Carew

Fashion week in Toronto

Toronto has been buzzing with activity surrounding all things couture. Even though the main events are sponsored by L'oreal professional Matty and The rest of the Schwarzkopf Professional team have been busily buzzing right along with it. Last nights Alexander Berardi show was a huge success. We loved his use of stripes and sheers as well as the deep plunging necklines and exposed backs. Look for these to be big next spring.

More bands you should love..Mumford and Sons

In the past we have told you about one of our favorite internet phenomenons called "Take Away Shows". These are the brainchild of La Blogotheque and have been steadily replacing the pomp and pretentious production of music videos with very stripped down and honest acoustic performances from some of todays best bands. Here is one of our favorite musical acts filming theirs in a back alley somewhere in Paris.

Brazillian Blow up

Bad news for Brazillian Blowout fans...

The popular product line has been recalled after OSHA studies have discovered that it contains formaldehyde despite the claims by Brazillian Blowout that their product is formaldehyde free.

There does seem to be some question as to the validity of these tests and they are trying to get to the bottom of the accusations.

We would like to assure everyone who has received this service from lab that there is no risk to them for having the service done. This precaution is being taken for your friendly lab stylists who are constantly being exposed to the chemicals that we use to make you beautiful.

For those of you that simply cannot live without this service...rest assured...we are working on an alternative.
